LeBron James foi campeão no Cleveland Cavaliers em 2015/16 e teve como um dos principais companheiros o ala-pivô Kevin Love. Hoje no Los Angeles Lakers, ‘The King’ pode voltar a jogar ao lado do experiente atleta, que deve sair do Utah Jazz e explorar o mercado da NBA.
Segundo informações de Brett Siegel, do “ClutchPoints”, as duas franquias de Los Angeles (Clippers e Lakers) se interessam pelo jogador de 36 anos, mas ambos os times precisam resolver questões financeiras para não ultrapassar o limite do teto e adquirir Love com maior tranquilidade.
Ele planeja alinhar uma rescisão e ficar livre no mercado da NBA. Campeão com o camisa 23 anos atrás, Kevin atuou pelo Miami Heat nas duas últimas temporadas e foi enviado para o Jazz nesta offseason, porém ainda não entrou em quadra pela nova equipe.
Em busca de reforços para ampliar as opções de Luka Doncic e LeBron James, o Lakers já fechou com o pivô Deandre Ayton e o ala-armador Marcus Smart. Cada vez mais perto da próxima temporada, a diretoria ainda mira em novos jogadores para 2025/26.
Nikola Jokic no topo da conferência oeste
Nesta semana, o site oficial da NBA fez um ranking com os melhores jogadores da conferência oeste e Nikola Jokic ficou no topo da lista. Ele deixou para trás Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, que foi campeão e MVP no Oklahoma City Thunder em 2024/25.
A lista feita por Shaun Powell tem como critério principal a “expectativa de performance” para a próxima temporada. O pivô do Denver Nuggets venceu três vezes o prêmio de MVP de 2021 para cá e teve uma disputa acirrada com o armador do Thunder na temporada passada.
O top-10 conta com jovens jogadores, como Anthony Edwards e Victor Wembanyama, além dos experientes Curry, Durant e LeBron; veja a ordem:
- Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets)
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder)
- Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
- Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers)
- Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
- Anthony Davis (Dallas Mavericks)
- Kevin Durant (Houston Rockets)
- Kawhi Leonard (Los Angeles Clippers)
- LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers)
- Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs)
Thunder de Shai vence Nuggets de Jokic em avaliação
Na lista dos times, OKC levou a melhor e superou Denver. A franquia de Oklahoma conta com um elenco jovem e que tem a expectativa de brigar forte por taças nos próximos anos. A ESPN norte-americana também fez um ranking recentemente e colocou os atuais campeões em primeiro; confira o top-10 do site da NBA:
- Oklahoma City Thunder
- Denver Nuggets
- Houston Rockets
- Minnesota Timberwolves
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Los Angeles Lakers
- Golden State Warriors
- Dallas Mavericks
- Memphis Grizzlies
- San Antonio Spurs
